After Shen Luo pondered for a moment, he wrapped the jade pillow with a cotton cloth and walked into a forest not far away. He began to gather dry grass and withered branches in the forest and set up a large pile of firewood. After clearing the surrounding vegetation, he placed the jade pillow wrapped in cotton cloth on top of the pile of firewood.
His idea was very simple. Since the jade pillow couldn't be cut with an axe, he would try to burn it with a big fire.
The last time he used a fire starter, the fire was too weak, and the time was too short.
This time, he was going to burn it like a big pot. Anyway, the ancient book said that most evil things were afraid of fire. If there was really something strange in it, perhaps it could be burned down after a long time.
Shen Luo took out a fire roll from his bosom and removed the cover. He placed it near his mouth and blew on it a few times. Immediately, sparks of scarlet flames appeared inside, and a wisp of green smoke floated out.
Just as he bent down and was about to light the firewood, he suddenly thought of something and took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve.
"If there really is an evil spirit hiding inside, it would be safer to use some cinnabar …" Shen Luo murmured. He removed the cork from the bottle and poured out some red powder from the bottle. He sprinkled it on the cotton bag through the gaps of the firewood.
Then, he used the fire starter to light the firewood.
Along with the rising smoke, the jade pillow gradually rose into the flames and gave off a wave of hot air.
Shen Luo looked up at the sky and saw that the surrounding trees were dense and the fire was very strong. There was not much smoke coming out, so he didn't have to worry about attracting the attention of the senior brothers in the temple.
The firewood for the fire was mostly pine branches, which contained a lot of oil. When it burned, it made a "pa pa" sound. Shen Luo squatted on the side with his hands on his knees and kept adding firewood for fear that the fire was not enough.
Very quickly, that layer of cotton was burned to ashes, and the jade pillow was naturally exposed. However, there was not a single trace of burn on it, and it was not even blackened. It still maintained its original color of dark yellow.
Shen Luo was not in a hurry. As he continued to add firewood, he carefully recalled what had happened in the dream. He wanted to see if he could find any clues from it. For example, where was the place in the dream? Could it be some place?
However, no matter how many times he thought about that experience, he still couldn't find any valuable clues.
After a full hour, Shen Luo felt that his entire face was a little dry from the heat of the fire. He had used up all the firewood that could be picked up within a hundred feet radius, and finally extinguished the fire.
He took a reserved fire stick and brushed away the ashes of the plants that were still glowing. The jade pillow was covered in ash, and its original appearance could no longer be seen.
Seeing this, Shen Luo's heart was filled with anticipation. He picked up the axe and smashed it down on the jade pillow.
"Bang!" a muffled sound rang out!
The strength of his smash was not small. His arm was shaken and numb, but the jade pillow was unscathed. Only some of the ash on the surface was smashed off, and the original color was revealed.
Shen Luo sighed. He didn't feel surprised in his heart.
He used the fire stick to pull out the jade pillow little by little, and blew off the ashes on the pillow. He saw that the jade pillow had not changed in the slightest compared to before. There was no trace of burn on the surface.
Shen Luo frowned. After a little hesitation, he used his fingertips to test the jade pillow.
Was it still cold? The jade pillow had been burned by the fire for half an hour, but it was still as cool as before. There was no temperature.
Even if it was a piece of stone, it would be impossible for it to be so cool after being burned for such a long time. Wasn't it too strange?
Shen Luo thought of this, and couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. He couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Seeing the sun shining high in the sky, his heart was a little relieved.
He circled the jade pillow a few times, and tried to touch the middle of the jade pillow and a few sides of the pillow. The result was the same as before.
"It can't be cut open, and it can't be heated by the fire. Is it the magic tool that Bai Xiao Tian mentioned when he was drunk?" Shen Luo muttered to himself with an uncertain expression.
If this jade pillow could really make people have such a real nightmare, maybe it was the kind of magic tool that was mentioned in the ancient book. Maybe this Primordial Stone could make it change.
As for the "Little Thunder Charm" that led him to find the jade pillow, because the materials were used up, there was no time to make it in these few days.
Thinking of this, Shen Luo seemed to have made up his mind. He fumbled in his sleeve for a while, and took out the remaining Primordial Stone.
But when he held the Primordial Stone in his hand, he hesitated. This Primordial Stone was valuable, and it was not easy to get. There was only one Primordial Stone left. Should he really use it here?
"Forget it, it's just a Primordial Stone. No matter how precious it is, it's not as precious as my life."
After making up his mind, Shen Luo put the Primordial Stone on the jade pillow, adjusted his breathing, and began to silently run the Minor Yang Art.
After a while, a trace of heat flowed on his arm and slowly gathered in his palm. Finally, it slowly condensed into a faint red silk less than three inches long, and penetrated his palm.
When his palm slowly approached, the faint red silk flowed into the Primordial Stone on the jade pillow little by little.
Immediately, the Primordial Stone lit up with a faint red halo, and began to show a bit of a crystal clear feeling. The cluster of white gas inside also began to roll violently.
Shen Luo stepped back a few steps, swallowed his saliva, and stared nervously at the Primordial Stone and the jade pillow.
With a "kacha" sound, the Primordial Stone shattered, and a mass of white light emerged from inside, enveloping the entire jade pillow, making its outline somewhat blurred.
However, this change only lasted for a moment, and the white light flashed and disappeared. The jade pillow still had no abnormalities.
Shen Luo was completely at his wit's end.
He absent-mindedly buried the embers of the fire, and cleaned up the remaining traces nearby. He hesitated for a long time, then sighed, picked up the jade pillow, and left the forest.
Half an hour later.
Shen Luo appeared in front of the mountain wall where he found the jade pillow. The small hole was once again opened.
"No matter what strange things you have, it's my fault for disturbing your peace. I'll send you back now, and we'll part ways here. We won't disturb each other in the future." Shen Luo muttered as he put the jade pillow back into the hole.
It wasn't that he didn't think of finding a deep pool or a cliff, and throwing the jade pillow down. It was just that in the ancient books he had read in the past, there was a saying: "Ghosts and gods should be kept at a respectful distance."
Shen Luo was worried that if it was really involved in these kinds of unclear things, and if he carelessly threw it away, it could lead to a bigger disaster.
This jade pillow was originally dug up here, and now it could be regarded as returning it to its original place.
He gathered the stones around and buried the hole. Seeing that the traces were obvious, he pulled some vines from the shade under the trees in the distance and covered the hole again.
After doing all this, he got up and patted the soil on his hands. He took a deep breath, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden, and turned back.
At night.
Although Shen Luo still had some worries in his heart, after a day of tossing and turning, he was sleepy early. Before going to sleep, he took out all the talismans he had written before and posted them all over the house.
When he lay on the bed, he didn't have time to think for a moment, and fell into a deep sleep.
